Best Smoke Detector Installatio… in San Francisco CA

Fearghal was recommended by our realtor to do some supplemental electrical work at our home.

We were pleased with his work--He was reliable and easy to work with. He and his crew estimated that the job would take two days, and they finished in two.

I would definitely recommend Fearghal for electrical set up and repairs.

Jothi has done three separate jobs at my house and all have been excellent work.  He's installed a new ceiling fan, three non-existent bedroom lights and an outlet behind our living room TV that required pretty extensive work.  Each job was very well-priced and expertly done.  As others have mentioned, he cleans up before leaving - I'm a huge proponent of the job isn't complete until the site is clean.  I would recommend him to anyone.

John saved the day for us! After an attempt to expertly troubleshot over the phone, he rushed over and made a quick fix to a damaged breaker at our commercial kitchen. It's refreshing to have such excellent service and true professionalism in this day and age. It's clear he has a wealth of experience and knowledge in his field. Next time there is a problem, we'll be sure to call John.

I highly recommend Valencia Electric.  I like to support local businesses and women-owned businesses.  Natalie, who I believe owns Valencia Electric, gave me an initial estimate and stayed within the estimate through to job completion.  During both visits she arrived on time, was efficient at diagnosing the problem and fixing it (replaced ceiling fixture).  

She understood my predicament, being a small local business owner as well and the necessity to have working lights for us to open and conduct business.  So although she had a very busy schedule, she made time for me.  I appreciated her thoughtfulness in this instance.

I was trying to get someone recommended by the general contractor I usually use but after two attempts I gave up.  I had tried to install my ceiling fan that had two switches but following the directions wasn't working.  T & H was the first to respond and charged me half of the flat rate another business recommended.  I also decided to have an exterior outlet installed in the front of my house.  I had an itemized quote same day and the work done as well.  I highly recommend this service.

Friendly and knowledgable, but bad follow-up.

Rick came over to conduct a general electrical inspection of our new home. He seemed very knowledgable, explaining things as he went. Overall, he didn't find much wrong, which was great. But he did note down a few things for us to consider taking care of. We paid him his fee, and that's where the less than satisfactory review comes in. He said he would email his notes to us, so we would have a record of his inspection, but he never did. My wife and I called/emailed him several times after the inspection, and no response. Very poor follow-up.

It always feels good to support local businesses, but it's especially rewarding to support ones that are just getting started. When I went on Yelp looking for an electrician, Estiben and Brains Automation Homes didn't even have any reviews yet! It's always a little risky to go with a business with no reviews, but something told me Estiben knew what he was doing, and I can definitely say I made a good choice in selecting him for my home project.

I had been wanting to replace the old and ugly outlets and switches in my home, and decided to get a few quotes just to see what I would be getting myself into. Brains Automation Homes offered a competitive estimate and got the job done exactly as I had requested and quickly (I was able to schedule an appointment the same week I started looking for an electrician). It turns out Estiben is a one-man show breaking out on his own and trying to build up his business (hence, not many reviews). He's licensed, competent, and friendly. He knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned I might want to replace an outlet with one that had USB ports. As the business name indicates, Brains Automation Homes has experience with hooking up smart homes, so you know Estiben is knowledgeable about some of the latest tech.

For my project, Estiben arrived on time, was very polite, got the job done well, and cleaned up after himself. In all, he replaced two regular outlets, two outlet-switch combinations with GFCI, two double light switches, two single light switches, and a three-switch contraption in the bathroom that connects to the light, the fan, and a heater. The bathroom switch was a late add-on (I thought it might be too complicated), but Estiben had all the necessary parts, so he was able to take care of it then and there.

I have a few more electrical projects in mind, and I won't hesitate to contact Brains Automation Homes when the time comes.

I requested a quote. Josh responded immediately. He works me out via the phone! Can you believe it!? Saved me $200 for a trip check. Very appreciated, Josh. You made my weekend.

Five stars is not nearly enough.  I requested estimates from seven electricians on Yelp. I sent pictures and described what I wanted done.  I said I would like the work completed sometime over the next three days and asked for estimates.  

Four electricians wanted to set up appointments to provide an estimate and then schedule the actual work. Two electricians provided tentative rates or estimates that to my mind seemed excessive.

Jaime was the only one who provided a firm and exceedingly reasonable estimate based on the pictures and description of work.  He was available to do the work the next morning.  He showed up and immediately began working.  It took a little over an hour to complete the repair.

The before and after pictures speak for themselves.  He cleaned up a massively out of control set wires in a junction box in the garage and ran a new wire to a new outlet closer to the garage door opener eliminating the need for an extension cord.  

Jaime's English is a bit limited but we were able communicate okay.  He could see exactly what needed to be done so communication really wasn't an issue.

In terms of results, the finished project is above and beyond what I had expected.

Highly Recommend...

I contacted Jade Electric via Yelp and I'm so glad I did! We were looking for someone to quickly install new lights where no previous electrical existed. Tim was quick to respond and accommodated my request for a video estimate. Once the project began, Tim and Nikko were great. They were communicative, professional, and paid great attention to detail. We will gladly hire Jade Electric again for future projects!

These guys are top notch and show up on time and get the job done. Just beware, they are expensive and be prepared for an expensive surprise. After the main job was completed, It took two men to install a special order plug cover and $200 labor for about a ten minute job.

Micah Electric was great -- reasonable and fair prices, excellent workmanship, professional and courteous crew. They rewired our entire home over three long days -- installed ceiling fans, new outlets, new lighting, and upgraded faulty wiring. Definitely a company that can take on large home projects, and do them well, on time, and on budget.

We needed a variety of electrical upgrades and updates. We got a few bids, CA Electrical did not have the best price but we felt they were very qualified and would do the job right ... and they did!

From beginning to end, they were professional, on time, helped us to make decisions, explained when we had questions, cleaned up after themselves and it was a job well done! We are very satisfied and will use them again.

If you need electrical work, don't go any place else. Miro was on time and cleaned up after completing the extensive work. The price was excellent.

Mike is a great guy, trustworthy and dependable.  Both times Ive called him for electrical problems, he came right away, explained my options, and fixed me up that same day. He was affordable too.  I live in the Outer Richmond, but will use him if I move, anywhere in the city.

Very responsive, kind, and helpful! Our trees blew down in the windstorm and we had to call 6 different electricians to see who would help us. Since the power lines connected our in-law cottage to our main house and fell on private property, Alameda Municipal Power were unable to help.

Quaweay Electric responded immediately and set up an appointment with me for the next morning. Relief!!

Then I got a surprise visit first thing the same morning, from our regular electrician who was able to come in and save the day unexpectedly.

I contacted Quaweay to let them know, and it turns out they were already on their way, but were able to call the technicians back in time.

It's very rare in this day and age (since everyone is crazy busy and there's too much work to go around) to find such a responsible, responsive and proactive electrician.

Thank you so much, Quaweay! I plan to hire you for my next job!!

I can't recommend Eric and his team highly enough.

I spent weeks, months trying to find a shop that could handle 1) AC panel upgrade, 2) 5-6 different 120V and 240V wiring (for us to convert from gas to electric for water heater, furnace, range, dryer), 3) manage the water heater install, 4) pull all electrical, plumbing, and building permits, 5) complete the scope on time and on budget to meet permit, tax credit, and state incentive requirements.

Eric and his team were professional and responsive; on budget and thorough; checked in often on feedback and design decisions; knew every inch of existing code and upcoming code changes; and are incredibly knowledgeable about all of these different appliances and buildings, the best cost/value/environmental benefit of each.

No other shop could have put eyes on everything we were trying to do on this whole home electrification project in a complex SF permitting environment and done such a great job in managing the project and me as a client.

6 stars out of 5!

Andrew and Alex came to diagnose the problem with our range hood. They arrived when they said they would and were very easy to communicate with.  They were very thorough and figured out exactly what the problem was and made sure they were correct. Now i have to see if the part we need is under warranty! I'll call them again without hesitation.
